Storying Ourselves in Nature: A Creative Writing Day Workshop

Storying Ourselves in Nature: A Creative Writing Day Workshop

A creative writing day retreat and workshop offered by local writer Mel Parks. We will begin the day in the cosy library filled with an eclectic collection of books and views out to the garden. Then we will take a walk around the peaceful grounds to notice and absorb the surroundings with all of our senses.

This day-long workshop will include gentle creative writing exercises, some sharing (if you would like to) and is inspired by nature writing and memoir such as Wintering by Katherine May and The Enchanted Life by Sharon Blackie. The afternoon will be more freeform with an opportunity to go deeper with your own writing, sit (inside or out) and think or wander a little more.

It is suitable for beginners or if you’ve been writing for a while.

The day includes a vegetarian lunch as well as tea and coffee during breaks.
